The crowd was filled with shock, feeling as if they had stepped into a cage filled with surveillance. Each word on the simple wanted poster seemed like a pupil staring at them.
"Everyone, stay calm. We need to find Jimmy first!" Lin Yi quickly communicated to the group. There were several Star Level experts hidden on this street, but their highest rank was only Five-Star. However, these individuals were sharp; if they caught wind of the situation, it could spell disaster.
"The most important thing now is to find a place to settle down. I'll go look for Jimmy alone!" Lin Yi continued, but given their sensitive identities, finding a place to stay was truly challenging.
At that moment, Froeman approached and said, "Captain Lin, there are cameras and surveillance everywhere, plus identity verification. How do you plan to handle this?"
"What? General, you've been on the run all this time; surely you have some solutions? This simple identity verification must be something you've dealt with before," Lin Yi teased deliberately. He didn't want to exert too much effort; after all, this was his first time dealing with such matters.
"This isn't Nairobi anymore; I don't have many options. If we can't get past the information barrier and don't have the right tools on hand, we're stuck!" Froeman shrugged helplessly; this was beyond his capabilities.
However, seeing Lin Yi still in a joking mood made Froeman realize he must have a plan. As for what that plan was, it would depend on the situation at hand.
Lin Yi merely smiled at everyone and then quietly activated his Psychic Power to search around. After a short while, he transmitted to the group, "Follow me; there's an inn not far from here. There's only surveillance at the entrance!"
Everyone nodded and pretended to act nonchalant. Oku followed Lin Yi's lead as they strolled leisurely toward their destination.
The city gate area had previously been the frontline against Zombies, making it a relatively deserted place. Even though there hadn't been any large-scale Zombie appearances for quite some time, it still consisted of only a few simple shops catering to passersby.
Under Lin Yi's covert guidance, Oku walked along the main street of the city gate for about seven or eight kilometers before turning into an alley. After several twists and turns, they finally arrived at a dilapidated inn.
This place was even more desolate; it felt almost empty. Although it was daytime, the lighting inside was dim, with only one hanging lamp lit at the front desk.
In the dim light sat a plump middle-aged woman. She wore bright lipstick and was fixated on a screen that flickered with lights, casting strange colors onto her face. At that moment, she was entirely absorbed in the scenes playing out on the screen and had no idea anyone had entered.
"Trouble! Give us nine rooms!" Lin Yi's voice suddenly changed tone, sounding as if it came from a distant place.
The middle-aged woman jumped up from her chair at Lin Yi's voice, startling everyone as if a mountain had risen from the ground. However, this mountain trembled all over and appeared somewhat comical.
"You scared me to death! You guys..." The woman stood up and glanced at everyone but couldn't make out Lin Yi and the others' faces due to the dim lighting.
"Hurry up and get your identification ready! We need the latest numbered documents!" The middle-aged woman swallowed hard and forced down whatever food she had just been chewing.
"Sorry, we've lost our IDs; we hope you can accommodate us."
Lin Yi's voice became ethereal. Although everyone felt a sense of familiarity, they still couldn't grasp what was happening.
"You are Lin..." The middle-aged woman suddenly widened her eyes in shock. Her face was filled with disbelief, but soon her expression turned blank, and her gaze became hollow and vacant.
"Alright. As you wish, the ten rooms on the second floor are all yours. I will prepare your identification numbers right away."
The middle-aged woman suddenly pulled a set of room cards from the drawer and respectfully handed them to Lin Yi!
At that moment, even the dullest among them understood that this woman had clearly fallen under some kind of mind control and was completely obeying Lin Yi's words!
"Wow—this mind control technique consumes Psychic Power quickly, but it's also because my mastery over this ability isn't strong enough; I've wasted quite a bit of Psychic Power!"
Lin Yi let out a sigh and wiped the beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
"Boss, when did you learn this?" the twin brothers asked in unison. They were skilled at creating illusions, but that was their innate ability, so it was natural for them to use it. However, it was too strange that Lin Yi suddenly knew how to do this.
"I've been researching it for a while. I asked Archbishop Augusto about it when I encountered him in Rome, and later Jerry and Wu Hao shared some insights with me. When I met Pearl Amigal this time, I suddenly had an inspiration and decided to give it a try; I didn't expect it to succeed!"
Lin Yi spoke with a hint of relief on his face, immersed in the joy of this newfound ability. It felt like a superpower tailor-made for his escape; this ability was simply timely.
"Captain Lin, I think I understand why you are worth ten billion Contribution Points! With your rate of progress, not just Zombies, even human rulers would be frightened!" Froeman looked at Lin Yi with a hint of envy. If only he had such opportunities, he wouldn't be running for his life everywhere.
Lin Yi chuckled and said nothing more as he led everyone upstairs. Although the lighting on the second floor wasn't great, it enhanced their concealment. Fortunately, the inn was quite clean inside, and the occasional sunlight streaming in provided a rare sense of tranquility.
Once settled in, Lin Yi didn't dare to be careless and immediately instructed everyone to rest and recover from their injuries. At their level of combat power, their cells already possessed self-repair capabilities; as long as they were provided with enough food, they would be fine. At that moment, the middle-aged woman who had been briefly controlled by Lin Yi took action; she purchased enough cooked food for a hundred people under the pretense of needing supplies for the inn!
Since Lin Yi had the strongest personal combat power, he consumed nearly half of the high-calorie food himself. Afterward, he fell into a peculiar state of rest. The others took turns resting while Froeman released a few micro-monitors he had on hand to monitor the area within a kilometer.
When the first ray of moonlight fell upon Lin Yi, he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze shimmering like autumn waters.
After enduring several battles previously and being utterly exhausted, he quickly regained his vitality after sufficient replenishment and rest; now he was at his peak strength. However, Lin Yi wasn't confident about calling Jimmy to stay behind with him; at this moment, he truly had little recourse.
Lin Yi was indeed formidable, but as long as the opponent set up their defenses well enough, even he could only meet his end in despair!
"Everyone, continue resting and stay vigilant. If anything unexpected happens, you all leave first; I will find you!" Seeing that most people were resting, Lin Yi didn't plan to say much more. Meanwhile, Lori and Caesar went around to keep watch over their surroundings.
Lin Yi retracted his aura; he had not yet reached a level of strength that made him fearless. In this city, there were certainly experts who could deal with him, and Lin Yi did not want to be intercepted right after stepping out.
In the next moment, a shadow flickered in the darkness, then fell silent. Soon after, a figure flashed by on the street, but upon closer inspection, it seemed as if nothing had happened at all.
Although this was the outskirts of Main City, with Lin Yi's speed and full exertion, he arrived at his destination in just a few minutes. This was due to him only using external power; if he had mobilized all his strength, he could have arrived in the blink of an eye.
Addis Ababa, having experienced the ravages of war, had now recovered. The Presidential Office was impressively built, showcasing typical Romanesque architecture that towered high into the sky. Beside this mansion stood the Pentagon, and Lin Yi had long since locked onto a certain secret room within it.
At that moment, Jimmy was staring blankly at a document. Ever since Kofi's death, he had remained in the military under the leadership of the Gendarmerie. The newly appointed president had given him a special position as the director of the Investigation Bureau, essentially making him an intelligence chief.
Jimmy was wholly focused on his work; despite his large stature, he was incredibly meticulous. Over the past year, under his leadership, the Investigation Bureau had dismantled several Zombie hideouts, earning considerable praise for this dark department.
The director's position brought Jimmy a glamorous life but also brought him plenty of trouble. When he first saw that global wanted poster, he even questioned whether he was dreaming.
However, major newspapers bombarded the news with reports about that legendary name. They relentlessly informed the world just how evil this legend truly was! Many people became temporary public opinion leaders through their "brilliant" deductions and comments, sparking widespread discussion among the populace.
For over a year, Jimmy constantly recalled Kofi's previous words; he always felt there was more to what Kofi had said. Yet whenever he tried to investigate certain matters, he found himself at a loss. Nevertheless, one thought lingered in Jimmy's mind—too terrifying for him to confront directly.
"Director Jimmy, long time no see." Suddenly, a familiar yet strange voice broke through his thoughts, calm as water.
